Travel through the decades, watching the development of a company and an industry. Authors Ralph Baumheckel and Kent Borghoff tell the entire IH tractor history from the first traction engine in 1906 until the last 5488 all-wheel-drive tractor rolled off the line on May 14, 1985. The story doesnt end with the tractors, in fact it is just the beginning. Now you can discover for yourself about the implements and combines that IH produced to make the farmers job easier. These products help illustrate the incredible tale of this legendary company. This book is filled with color. Nearly one-fourth of the over 800 photos are featured in full color. A special aspect of this book, which makes it truly a one-of-a-kind, is that many of the photos came from IH retirees. These never-before published photos give a unique insight into the company that only former employees and their experiences can provide. A detailed appendix is included to give collectors something to sink their teeth into.
